CT-Guided Dental Implants: Advanced Technology for Better Results

A CT scan, also known as CAT scan or Computerized Axial Tomography scan, is a procedure that combines hundreds of x-ray images to create 3D cross-sectional views of your body.

This allows doctors to see structures such as bone, soft tissues, and blood vessels at many different angles for better diagnosis and treatment plans.

Occasionally, dentists will need to take a CT scan of a patient’s mouth. Performing a dental CT is very simple and completely painless. The patient sits stationary in a designated seat while the imaging system takes several pictures of your face in a matter of seconds.

At Dentalways, we use the Galileos 3D CT Scanner, which provides one of the fastest scans on the market. This scan only emits a very low dose of radiation that is less than that of a standard set of full mouth dental x-rays. This advanced technology paired with our lab trained by the prestigious Las Vegas Institute allows us to offer our patients the best possible care.

Why would I need a CT scan at the dentist?

CT scans can be especially helpful to dentists in planning procedures like dental implants, as they provide views of bone structure, bone density, tissues and nerves that can’t be seen with traditional dental x-rays. 3D imaging can assist with assessing the quality of the jawbone, determining the best spot to place the implant and the appropriate size and type of implant needed.

Dental implants done via traditional placement techniques are typically time-consuming to complete. With CT scans the entire surgical procedure can be planned out and practiced in advance, reducing the amount of time the patient is in the clinic and improving their overall results.

How will I benefit from CT-guided implant placement?

At Dentalways we always use the CT-guided implant placement procedure because it provides several benefits to the patient. These include:

minimally invasive surgical techniques

reduced treatment and recovery time

minimized complications

more successful placement and enhanced end results

Using CT scans for guidance is the best option for dental implant placement. If you need more information about dental implant procedures or would like to set up a consultation, give us a call at 501-753-7366 or fill out our Contact Form today.

What our clients are saying

My teeth have always been small which made my gums cover about 70% of my smile. For this reason, I have always been self-conscious when smiling. But because of Dr. Khullar’s generosity, kindness, and concern for my feelings he made the “total procedure” possible for me! Dr. Khullar and his team were as concerned and excited about the final outcome of my procedure as I was!

Now everyone tells me what a total difference it has made in my appearance. I cannot thank him and his team enough! He’s a wonderful person and an outstanding dentist. Because of them I cannot stop smiling!

Dr. Khullar and his team including Lauren , Jeannie and Lori were exceptionally friendly and efficient, which is hard to find these days in doctor offices. During my recent visit they accommodated their schedule to get all my procedures on the same day. Dr. Khullar and his team spends time talking to you and explaining the procedures in detail. I would highly recommend this clinic to all my friends, family and physician peers. Keep up the great work!!

My last procedure was a root canal and two crowns. I was given plenty of time to relax, and because of the expertise and gentle care from Dr. Khullar and his team I actually slept through the entire procedure! Dr. Khullar stayed after hours to ensure that I was comfortable and answered all my concerns.

I travel an hour round trip to see Dr. Khullar and would encourage anyone else to do the same. His team, especially Jessica and Trish, make everything from insurance to payments to assisting in my dental care a surprisingly pleasant experience. You really can't say that about most dentists. Several of my family members are now patients at DK Dental, and we are the most satisfied we have ever been with our dental care!

Dr. Khullar and his team are so polite and fun to be around, it makes my visit enjoyable and relaxing. My mouth has done a 180 degree turn thanks to Dr. Khullar. He made me feel that every visit and every dollar was worth my wonderful new smile.

My life is much better without the pain of cavities. I feel free from the stress of bad teeth and bad gums. Dr. Khullar is one of my hero's, and his team is so nice and caring!

Dr. Khullar and his team are friendly and take excellent care of my family's teeth. The office is equipped with the technology needed to stay current with new advances in dentistry. They are local and schedule around our busy lifestyle with a family seven.

Dr. K and his team are very helpful with scheduling what needs to be taken care of first. They have worked hard with us to figure out what insurance would pay and help us figure out payment options. Thank you guys for all your help, our family is pain free and have healthy teeth because of your hard work.

What I like most is their friendly and professional assistance and the manner in which they care for their patients. Most of my visits required lengthy work. Dr. Khullar and his team made me feel very comfortable and at ease and all of my dental work was done with little or no pain or discomfort.

He and his staff are the friendliest and most enjoyable people anyone could be around and this so important in a medical setting.

I was pleasantly surprised when I first walked into his Perryville and Morrilton offices. He uses the latest high tech dental equipment, and he is fully staffed with qualified and friendly people.

On the day Dr. K told me it would take two hours sitting in the dental chair for the first phase of my tooth implant, I told him, no way! But he and his nurse worked in such an expert and gentle manner that I made it through the procedure just fine. The cost was less too. Dr. Khullar has done extensive work on my teeth the past couple of years, and from my point of view, he is among the best dentists to be found anywhere!

The best part of Dr. Khullar's office is the team is always friendly and smiling, they make me feel good about coming in. I have had a couple of crowns now and an inlay. I am 36 and had never taken the nitrous gas. Dr. K always asked if I would like some, but I was nervous about it. I will never have a crown without it again.

I love that because of Dr. K I can joke and have fun while having dental work done! Not to mention my crowns were perfect! I recommend Dr. Khullar to everyone I know.

I love the fact that Dr. Khullar and his team were persistent with my work until it was perfect and I was totally satisfied. His team is kind, caring, and friendly. I have regained my confidence with the great smile Dr. Khullar has given me. Dr. Khullar truly gave me a Hollywood smile!

When I first came to Dr. Khullar I did not want to smile, my teeth were worn out and I could not chew properly. But Dr. Khullar took care of all my dental problems and now I have the smile I've always wanted and can chew like never before!

My old teeth got worn and flaky. One of my teeth was so fragile, it broke while I was eating pretzels! My new LVI teeth are not only very comfortable they look great. Thanks to Dr. Khullar and his team I have a new smile that not only looks good, but makes me feel confident, assured, and about 10 years younger! Every morning when I look in the mirror I wonder why I didn't do this sooner!
